Noether Theorem and Nilpotency Property of the (Anti-)BRST Charges in the BRST Formalism: A Brief Review

A. K. Rao, A. Tripathi, B. Chauhan +1

In some of the physically interesting gauge systems, we show that the application of the Noether theorem does not lead to the deduction of the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and…

Modified Stckelberg Formalism: Free Massive Abelian 2-Form Theory in 4D

Modified Proca Theory in Arbitrary and Two Dimensions

A. K. Rao, R. P. Malik

We demonstrate that the standard Stueckelberg-modified Proca theory (i.e. a massive Abelian 1-form theory) respects the classical gauge and corresponding quantum (anti-)BRST symmet…
